Hi! I wanted to share a more polished redesign direction for the project focused on UX, accessibility, responsiveness, and maintainability rather than just visual changes.

I put extra attention into:

• modular styling through reusable design tokens
• accessibility and keyboard navigation
• smooth but lightweight animations
• responsive behavior across screen sizes
• keeping the existing functionality intact

I’d appreciate your feedback whenever you get time to review it. Happy to iterate further based on project direction/preferences.

Hey @dhruv-dhemare! Saw your work on GSSoC 2026.

We are building TermUI, a TypeScript terminal UI framework with React-style hooks and JSX, rendered entirely in the terminal.

We have 67 unassigned GSSoC issues open. 19 are marked good first issue. Your JavaScript background transfers directly.
